North Carolina US Senator Thom Tillis has said he supports a path to legal status for illegal immigrants. That is amnesty. We want to meet directly with Senator Tillis but he refuses to meet with NC LISTEN in person, even though he meets regularly with businesses who want more and more cheap foreign labor and near nothing done about illegal immigration.

Concerning illegal immigrants, Senator Tillis says “we can’t send them back, so you have to provide them a path to legal status” and in the next breath says that does not mean amnesty. Of course a path to legal status and being able to remain in the USA and have access to government social services and have a job is amnesty. By giving legal status to illegal immigrants, Senator Tillis is OK with illegals taking jobs that belong to citizens and with illegals using public benefit dollars that belong to our veterans and our own poor and elderly poor. Senator Thom Tillis should be mostly concerned with his own citizenry, but instead shows he is mostly concerned with big special interests.
